Samsung is looking to win market share in the MP3 music player business as it unveiled six new portable MP3 players.
The company already has eight models in the market dominated by Apple.
"We aim to sell more than 5 million MP3 players this year versus 1.7 million sold last year and will seek various strategic alliances with content providers such as Microsoft to boost sales," said Samsung vice president Kim Suh-kyum.
According to a CNET article,
"Samsung's new pocket-size models have color screens and radio tuners. Some have features allowing people to watch music videos or take digital photographs.
Sales of MP3 players are set to grow 57 percent this year after more than doubling in 2004, according to market research group iSuppli, which predicts sales will more than double by 2009.
Samsung said it was looking to grab a 10 percent share in the United States this year, Kim said. He wouldn't say how much it accounted for in 2004."
